Statement
My work explores imagined and unseen dimensions across time and space. Through layered paintwork; symbols, patterns, bodies, and natural forms emerge. Inspired by nature's rhythms and patterns alongside an interest in the thresholds and boundaries of the self and consciousness. The work consists of abstract mark making which is interwoven and pieced together through colour, motion and form. The paintings are left to rest for long periods to incubate before new layers are added. Each piece follows its own internal logic and sensibility, which through a cycle of observation and action, I work to uncover.
